No. "iloc" sounds like a new Apple product to keep strangers out of your home, or maybe something to do with iterators. Both slicing and "[list,]" arguments can be easily performed using a comprehension. I have no idea what calling it with a callable or bitmask is intended to do, or why they would be useful, but bitmasks are usually ints, so how would it distinguish between the item at index 3 and the item with bitmask 3? Is there a use-case for retrieving the insertion position of a key, or are we just adding it because we can? -- Steven
